Fedora :: Cannot View Flash Video While Skype Chatting
Jun 8, 2011
I'm running Fedora 15 64-bit on my laptop, an HP HDX. I installed skype and got flash video to work (the former required that I install some 32 bit libraries, the latter required that I install an experimental 64-bit flash plugin from a tar ball). Now, they both work fine, but they don't work at the same time. In other words, I can have a video/audio chat, or just an audio chat, with someone on skype, but during that chat, I cannot view flash videos, nor can I watch a movie (and I verified that the problem is not just with totem) at the same time. If I'm watching a movie or listening to audio, skype will refuse to make a call.
Furthermore, when I have the sound settings open, and I'm using skype, in the applications tab of the sound settings I get "No application is currently playing or recording audio" which seems highly suspicious. I know this is a fixable problem because skype 64 + flash and/or movies works fine in the most recent iteration of 64bit ubuntu on my laptop, so it is just a matter of settings. I can't find much in the way of pulseaudio or alsa management apps in any of the repositories.
Ever since I upgraded to Namoroka a few months ago I can't view video from ....., flash videos, java etc... I always keep my machine updated with the update mgr, did some plugin updates but stil no videos. I'm getting tired of copying and pasting url's into epiphany each time I want to see a video. I'm running Namoroka ver. 3.6.5pre mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 on Karmic.
I have installed the Flash 10 plug-ins for Mozilla (Firefox) as well as several others including some add ons, etc. I have several different video players including VLC, MPlayer, Gnash SWF Player and more but I still can not view any streaming video if it is in SWF 9 format.
I just came home from a long trip, with a lot of videos shot during the holiday. I wish to share them with the rest of the family and friends, but the files are huge (full HD). I intend to upload them to the family server, so ..... and the likes are not something I want.
Have NO video camera. Trying to receive SKYPE video using Fedora 11 & SKYPE Beta Version 2.1.0.81 [latest version].When I receive a video call the image appears and then freezes and dumps the call after about six seconds.I have tried the 'env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/bin/skype' launch, but it makes no difference in the bug.I have NOT heard that a camera is required to receive video.Is there a fix for this?nal information: Here is the error message I get when the call dumps and crashes SKYPE.
[thsk@galley ~]$ env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/bin/skype shm_open() failed: No such file or directory Assertion 'b' failed at pulsecore/memblock.c:439, function pa_memblock_acquire(). Aborting.
My Internet videos and sounds work, but when i went into call skype test, they said my microphone was not working. I also tried to test my video and that is not working as well. So I believe my microphone/webcam is not installed properly. How do I check if its installed at all? How do I test it?
I recently installed Fedora 12 on a new gigabyte mb and for unknown reasons to me videos from ..... and others run very fast (5X) or more, and I'm also unable to get audio to work. All this only happens if I'm using KDE, all work ok in GNOME.
due to its philosophy, there is no mp3/dvd support shipped with Fedora.Anyhow, we're working here just for the very basic support.Some now may say "Oh thats bad, having to do that my self..".I say: "Using such a great OS, is worth that 10mins work to get sound and video."
Any time I want to view a video that uses flash (i.e ....., yahoo, ect...) the video will start to play for about 3-5 seconds with no sound. Then the video will pause and the sound will start to play for about 3-5 seconds WHILE the video is paused. Once the sound catches up to the video they both start to play synchronized. By the way I am using Fedora 11 32-bit. This happend on both the beta firefox that came with it originally and the 3.5 final. I am using the current adobe flash player. All this is from the repos with the system up to date.
I installed fedora 12 on my system but had issues with the ATI card I had at the time which I could not solve. So, I bought a Geforce 6200 hoping that would help, but I am still getting issues. Firstly, I cannot play full screen Flash. I know this has been asked before but all of the solutions I have tried have failed. Also, I would like to know if it is possible to play AVI files, as I d/l a few.
If I cannot get these two issues sorted it will be back to the dreaded Mic...... As I said, I am a complete novice here, I tried to enable desktop effects, and a message came up saying I only had 2D support, so I am guessing a driver problem? I have not installed any new drivers, but did try to get from nvidia, that I could not get to install - it was a .run file.
I have just followed the four point installation guide that I found on here, and now when the PC boots I have a slow moving blue bar across the the bottom of the screen with 'Fedora 12' next to it, and the graphics are now totally shot, looking like something from windows 3.1!
When I play a fullscreen flash video, it works fine the first time I open it, and then after that if I close it and open it again it appears, behind all my other windows, including firefox, gnome-panel, and glx-dock. This only happens under compiz - metacity is fine. This is all because I let my little brother play with compiz settings. I don't know if Linux is ready for the home user, but it certainly isn't ready for my brother.
i've been experiencing an issue with audio playback for certain flash videos that stream from the web. most play smoothly, like the videos at videos. others have this strange background noise that is only present when there is audio (usually on news websites that host their own videos). when there is sound, there is a strange stuttering noise that disappears during the silent pauses.
here's a perfect example: epidemic of tsa criminality: more agents caught stealing cash from luggage, another arrested for assault. the videos video at the top plays just fine. if you scroll down and watch the other video in the small box, you'll hear the stuttering. i have fedora 14 kde, adobe flash player 64 bit preview release 3 and rpm fusion codecs installed. the problem is also present in fedora 14 with gnome, same setup. the problematic videos play without the stuttering in ubuntu.
i'm in 64 bit kubuntu, with the the nswrapper in 10.10http://www.metacafe.comin firefox i get the sound but not the video in metacafe, when the video is unblocked by flash block. Others have the same problem?
I just installed firefox's flash plugin successfully and I can see it in the About:Plugins and it is enabled. But if I go to ..... to stream a video, I just get a black screen instead of the chosen video.
Well I have been trying to view some flash videos on the net and apparantly need to update my flash player. So I go to the Adobe page and download the YUM for Linux. It says it's installed, but I still can't view flash videos.
I always get "no camera found" in camera tab in flash player settings . What can be the problem. My camera is working fine. I have flash player also installed and working absolutely fine.
I tried viewing my camera with "cheese" and i can perfectly see it. But i am unable to see it with Flash player. I visited ustream.tv to see if i can broadcast my video but it always shows "no camera found" in camera tab. How do i resolve this? I even tried solution posted in this thread [URL] :-
But still it doesn't work. I also tried gkstreamer-properties and my webcam works just fine in video for linux 2.
I have been trying to solve this since 3 hours. Waiting for your replies
UPDATE :- i am now able to view my webcam using the command given above. But how do i the same for chrome? LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so chrome & doesn't work
I've just upgraded to the LTS and now I can't watch any videos on Your Tube via Flash in either Firefox or Chrome. I had the issue with Chrome before I upgraded, but I could still see them in Firefox without an issue and I figured the upgrade would fix this. I am getting the error message 'The Adobe Flash plug-in has crashed' and then underneath the viewing panel it says 'Upgrade to Flash Player 10 for improved playback performance. Upgrade Now or More Info.' I have checked in the software centre and it is showing a green tick next to Adobe Flash plug-in for Mozilla.
I have installed flash-plugin from rpmforge, video on flash sites works, but audio doesn't. Similarly neither the audio or mic works in skype. The soundcard is definitely recognised and I can change the levels using alsamixer. Furthermore, sound works in mplayer. Using CentOS 5.3 64bit fully up todate with rpmforge and adobe repositories enabled.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10, but I can't view the video from CNBC or Bloomberg. I wonder if I need to install Adobe Flash in order for it to work. If not, which software should I install?
Cannot get FlASH install correctly so I can view shows on HULU. In the past I could but recently HULU request that I install FlASH. When I click on the link provided and run the install, the install appears to download but I still cannont view shows on HULU.
im needing to view a adobe flash crash report, or preferably watch the crash happen(in the code)
Ubuntu 11.04(up to date) flash plugin - v11,0,1,98 flash aid - adobe beta, from adobe labs Firefox - 6.0(according to the "about firefox")
i have installed and reinstalled both the flash player and flash aid is there a way to do this and how?the player works on some sites and not others is it possible that im up to date and there not?
I can't get video to work in Skype on Maverick. The sound works, and the correct device (Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX) is selected in skype, but when I click on "Test" in the video box in Skype, nothing happens. My webcam works fine with Cheese, just not in Skype. My computer is a desktop Gateway DX4820.
Skype works fine for me on 10.10 except that I cannot see my own video. Setting the "See my own video" option has no effect. I recently upgraded to Skype 2.2.0.35 and nothing changed.
